| March 22, 2021. Dear Robert, Starting tomorrow at 8 a.m., New Yorkers
50 years of age and older will be eligible to receive the vaccine. We continue
to kick vaccinations into overdrive throughout the state by expanding
eligibility, establishing new vaccination sites and opening up eligibility to
providers to reach new populations. New York's distribution network is ready to
handle an expected increase in supply, and we're excited to expand eligibility
even further as we move to get through the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless,
limited supply from the federal government means that New Yorkers should remain
patient. If you are among those who become eligible tomorrow, check New York
State's Am I Eligible website to find an appointment (if available) at a
State-run vaccination site near you, or call 1-833-NYS-4-VAX. VaccineFinder, a
website affiliated with the CDC and Boston Children's Hospital, can also help
eligible New Yorkers find vaccination locations. Photo of the Day: Today I
spoke at Grace Baptist Church, which will become the latest of over 160+
community-based pop-up vaccination sites. (Photo by Don Pollard) Here's what
else you need to know tonight: 1. COVID hospitalizations dropped to 4,470. Of
the 152,328 tests reported yesterday, 6,361, or 4.18 percent, were positive.
The 7-day average percent positivity is 3.29 percent. There were 885 patients
in ICU yesterday, down 5 from the previous day. Of them, 576 are intubated.
Sadly, we lost 46 New Yorkers to the virus. 2. As of 11am this morning, 26.1
percent of New Yorkers have completed at least one vaccine dose. Over the past
24 hours, 103,425 total doses have been administered. To date, New York
administered 7,737,230 total doses with 13.4 percent of New Yorkers completing
their vaccine series. See data by region and county on the State's Vaccine
Tracker: ny.gov/vaccinetracker. 3. Today we launched the "Roll Up Your
Sleeve" campaign to encourage houses of worship of all faiths to sign up as
vaccination sites. Religious leaders of all faiths are trusted voices in their
communities and can help New York counter vaccine hesitancy and get the vaccine
to harder-to-reach communities in a fair and equitable way. New York State is
calling on medical providers to volunteer to partner with houses of worship to
conduct vaccination clinics. Medical professionals and houses of worship who
are interested in being involved can learn more and sign up at
ny.gov/rollupyoursleeve. 4. Pharmacies can vaccinate New Yorkers with
qualifying health conditions. Previously, pharmacies were exclusively
vaccinating New Yorkers age 60+ and seniors. If you are eligible for the
vaccine due to an underlying health condition or comorbidity, contact your
local pharmacy or check the VaccineFinder website to see if there are available
vaccine appointments at a pharmacy near you. Tonight's "Deep Breath Moment":
A New York City teacher who became seriously ill with COVID a year ago reunited
with the ICU staff who helped save his life. Tyrone John, a high school math
teacher, was among the earliest people to become hospitalized in New York for
COVID-19. Fortunately, he made it through. In a segment on the Today Show, he
reunited with the staff who looked after him for weeks, including when he fell
into a coma. One nurse reflected that John's recovery "gave us hope" during the
darkest moments of our state and nation's fight against COVID-19. If you
